1. We played two games in three days, three games in seven days.
2. We had a good go at Arsenal ..... if we had a goal scorer would have won? Didn't watch only read text commentary / stats.
3. We played at home then we travelled down to London

West Ham played:-
1. Two games in nine days or three games in ten days if you go back one day further to boxing day.
2. They didn't really play against us, scoring twice as we tried. Again convert our first half chances different result
3. They played at home (in London) and then travelled to ........ London., like us going to the custard bowl.

Not excuses ....... the game is lost and now we move on but ......... just food for thought

A bit precious, Val.

Yes TS I am precious and if you're a reasonable person please allow me to retort... firstly I have a very close friend who has glaucoma and could lose her sight in the near future. She is terrified about that prospect and the routine she has to go through every day to be able to hang on to her eyesight is pretty stressful and uncomfortable as well as time consuming, secondly my father has just been through invasive eye surgery that hasn't really worked so I have to read things to him now which stresses him out and makes him miserable and is very upsetting to witness I could elaborate on this but I don't have the time or energy. My point being just because all we see on this forum is letters and numbers typed out doesn't mean there isn't a person behind all of us with their feelings and life's issues and dishing out personal insults to each other
over social media just happens to stick in my claw and I don't appreciate being called F***** blind because I was angry and miserable about the continuation of our results emulating those under TP. Yes the football has changed a bit but were still losing to those in and around us stoke west ham swansea and last night in particular was my personal breaking point. Somethings wrong at our club and AP cannot seem to produce what the likes of allardyce moyes and hodgson have started to do at their respective clubs and somehow i don't see us attracting anyone that's going to sign for a club that's sinking like a stone especially in January We all know proven strikers are like gold dust so I don't share the enthusiasm of others that believe we will attract that calibre of player in our current position in January? Does anyone truly believe we will do that and reach 40  points given the way things are with this management set up and group of players? Sorry but i don't and that really is what I believe.

Not sure how anyone was supposed to know about your friend's and Fathers condition. Back to football. Did you really expect to rock up at another prem club and take away 3pts just because we need them? West Ham need points as much as we do and they were the home team. Expect them to roll over or are you suggesting that we should be beating the likes of West Ham at their place?

Time to kiss and make up.

We all want to see our Club recover from this situation before everything finally goes tits up.

I also agree with the sentiment that life might be more to our liking in the Championship. At least it's a relatively level playing field down there.
The main disadvantage is the loss of finances and our ability to attract the players that might take us back up again.

I recently read somewhere that the Championship is the third best supported league in Europe behind only the Prem and La Liga. (spelling?).

Interesting that its better attended than the top leagues in Italy and Germany.

ANYWAY, LIGHTEN UP YOU TWO, LIFE'S TO BL***Y SHORT.
